With a current enrolment of 49 pupils and a capacity of 52, the school aims to provide a safe and supportive environment where students can thrive without fear of judgement. The school's ethos prioritises individualised support, helping students overcome previous negative experiences in education.

The curriculum at The Haven includes core subjects such as English, mathematics, and science, alongside a variety of additional subjects tailored to individual needs, including creative arts and physical education. Activities range from team sports to individual pursuits, ensuring that every student can find something they enjoy.
